If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 658 The Invincible Emperor

Sixteen years later, a major event occurred in the Qiankun Sect: a sixteen-year-old boy was exceptionally accepted as a disciple by the sect leader. It was said that the sect leader intended to train him to be the next sect leader, and this matter had the consent of the four elders. Various rumors spread within the sect and even reached the world.

This boy's name is Yuan Luo. He didn't originally have this name. He changed it after his first Qi gathering cultivation.

He successfully established his foundation on his first attempt at Qi absorption, shocking the mentors. The news quickly spread to the higher-ups of the Qiankun Sect.

After that, Yuan Luo condensed his Golden Core in just one year, and by the time he was sixteen, he had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. His cultivation speed was extremely exaggerated.

"Yi Qingshan and the others discussed for several days and decided to cultivate Yuan Luo using the Dao Court's method of nurturing prodigies. They were determined to cultivate Yuan Luo into an unparalleled prodigy comparable to Zhao Rushen and Tianhong Emperor. However, in my opinion, they were relying on Wushi's protection. Without Wushi, such promotion of disciples would only lead to their premature death."

Anxin stood beside Gu An and said that Gu An was fishing at the edge of the lake. This lake was created by the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother, and many agile fish were raised in it, specifically for his amusement.

“It doesn’t matter. Whether we admit it or not, the outside world regards Wushi as the backer of the Qiankun Sect, and we have indeed done a lot.” Gu An said, staring at the lake.

As his spiritual level rose and he experienced more and more years, Gu An's mindset also changed.

He became more focused on his own feelings.

Anxin asked curiously, "Master, what is Yuan Luo's background? With such extraordinary talent, he must be the reincarnation of a great being, right?"

"Yes, his previous life was called Chaos Yuanluo, who wreaked havoc on many worlds. The previous calamity in the human world was caused by his power. He was probably captured by the immortals and gods and cast into reincarnation, which led to his current fate." Gu An did not hide anything and simply explained Yuanluo's origins.

An Xin frowned and asked, "The work of immortals and gods? Such an evil being reincarnated within the Qiankun Sect, could it be that it has some ulterior motive?"

Gu An glanced at her and smiled, "Yes, there might be some scheming going on, but such scheming has never stopped. If you can't see through it on your own, it means you're not strong enough."

Seeing that he could still smile, Anxin knew that everything was under his control, and she couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there anything I can do?"

"let it go."

Gu An didn't say much; he believed An Xin would understand what he meant.

Having spent so many years together, the master and apprentice have developed a high degree of understanding, and there is no need to repeat themselves for certain things.

Anxin stopped talking about Yuan Luo and shifted the topic to Emperor Tianhong and Zhao Rushen.

"I heard that the Dao Court is preparing to cultivate Zhao Rushen to become a Great Dao Emperor. Master, didn't you say that a Great Dao Emperor must be proven on the Great Dao Path? Could it be that Zhao Rushen will go to the Great Dao Path next?"

Anxin was very interested in the Great Dao Emperor, but she didn't know if the Great Dao Emperor, who was at the same level, could contend with her Immortal Emperor Eye.

“He is going; he is destined to become the Great Dao Emperor,” Gu An replied.

Mentioning the Great Dao Emperor, he couldn't help but shift his attention to the Path of the Great Dao, spying on Ji Xiaoyu and Xiao Lan.

Ji Xiaoyu has fought for many years and his fortune has been formed. He is getting closer and closer to becoming a Great Dao Emperor, while Xiao Lan has also begun to embark on the path to becoming an Emperor.

After participating in the competition for the Great Dao Emperor, their cultivation level increased rapidly, and they were able to become stronger through battle.

Xiao Lan has reached the realm of Divine Sense True Immortal and has caught up with Tian Hao, who is far away in the Misty Immortal Court.

Ji Xiaoyu is even attempting to break through to the Luo Tian Free Immortal Realm; in terms of strength, she is already stronger than Yuan Songzi.

After years of fighting side by side, Yuan Songzi has successfully persuaded Ji Xiaoyu to join the Dao Court. If she and Xiao Lan succeed, the Dao Court will have two Great Dao Emperors, which will be the foundation for the Dao Court to step out of the Heavenly Spirit Great World and compete with the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

Gu An could hear Yuan Songzi's inner thoughts, and his mood was far more excited than he appeared on his face.

Ji Xiaoyu is currently cultivating and preparing for battle. Her next opponent is the undefeated emperor from the Primordial Emperor Domain, a peerless genius who has achieved a thousand victories at the same level on the path of the Great Dao.

The Invincible Emperor is one of the top five peerless geniuses in the Primordial Emperor Domain, and his momentum is extremely strong.

Gu An had already foreseen the outcome of this battle and was not surprised. The original owner of the Immortal Emperor Pupil of the Eternal Emperor, the Heavenly Thief Emperor, came from the Primordial Emperor Domain. This person founded the Heavenly Thief Immortal Sect, which even attracted the pursuit of the Heavenly Court, which was enough to prove the terrifying power of his cultivation.

The foundation of the Primordial Imperial Domain is far beyond what the Great Thousand World can match.

"Master, do you think we, Wushi, need to cultivate a Great Dao Emperor?" Anxin asked expectantly.

Although Wushi is not a sect in the secular sense, Anxin, as the chief disciple, also hopes that Wushi will become powerful.

"It depends on your personal goals. I won't force you. The Great Dao Emperor is indeed very strong, but this path is very difficult."

Gu An said softly, having the memories of the Eternal Emperor, he knew how difficult the path to becoming a Great Dao Emperor was.

Looking at the disciples in the dojo, to be honest, he had not yet seen any potential to become a Great Dao Emperor. Even Xiao Lan, who was outside, relied on his secret protection.

If Xiao Lan had been left to face the danger alone, she would have died long ago.

Moreover, he could sense that if he continued to help Xiao Lan, no matter how many times Xiao Lan won, she would never become a Great Dao Emperor.

The Great Way's will is unfathomable!
After listening, An Xin fell into thought, vaguely understanding the unspoken meaning in Gu An's words.

At this moment, Gu An's fishing rod moved, and he began to lift the rod with all his might, his arms trembling.

Watching Gu An struggle like an ordinary person, An Xin covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that her master really loved to act.

……

In a brightly lit hall, Ji Xiaoyu sat cross-legged in front of a blue crystal, her back reflected in the crystal.

Yuan Songzi walked over and stopped in front of Ji Xiaoyu, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping.

Ji Xiaoyu closed her eyes and asked, "Please speak plainly, Court Master."

Yuan Songzi took a deep breath and said, "Give up. Your next opponent is invincible."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu opened her eyes and stared at him intently.

Yuan Songzi continued, "I have inquired and found that the Invincible Emperor not only achieved a thousand victories, but he also swept aside the geniuses of his time in the Primordial Emperor Domain. There was a Great Dao Emperor who fought against him at the same level and was defeated."

To defeat the Great Dao Emperor before even stepping onto the Emperor's Path is unbelievable, even if the Great Dao Emperor had suppressed his cultivation.

Yuan Songzi shuddered at the mere thought of it. Fearing that Ji Xiaoyu still wouldn't believe it, he added, "On the path of the Great Dao, everyone believes that the Invincible Emperor will become the Great Dao Emperor. It is unfortunate that the will of the Great Dao has forced you to confront it. Although avoiding the battle will mean all your previous efforts will be in vain, at least it will allow you to live."

The battle for the Great Dao Emperor is no child's play; nine out of ten losers will die.

Over the years, quite a few talented individuals have died at the hands of Ji Xiaoyu.

Ji Xiaoyu remained expressionless and asked, "Lord of the Court, have you ever considered that the path to becoming a Great Dao Emperor is inherently cruel? It's impossible for the path to be filled with easy opponents. If I give up this time, and then come to this point again, I will still encounter a genius who is no weaker than the Undefeated Emperor. If I give up every time, what is the point of coming to the Great Dao?"

"If I want the Great Dao to recognize me, I must defeat the opponent chosen by the Great Dao."

Yuan Songzi frowned upon hearing this. He felt it made a lot of sense, and perhaps he had underestimated the difficulty of becoming a Great Dao Emperor.

The thought that Xiao Lan might also face an opponent like the Undefeated Emperor suddenly made him feel a little lost.

Perhaps he was too hasty; the current Dao Court is not yet capable of nurturing a Great Dao Emperor.

Ji Xiaoyu looked at Yuan Songzi and smiled, a smile full of confidence. She said leisurely, "Moreover, Court Master, how dare you assert that I will definitely lose?"
